186: Another collaboration with Lao Ma.

Listening to Wang Lin's 'sophistry,' Ma laughed.

It was always he who told stories, painted a grand vision, and preached to others.

Who would have thought that today, he would be the one listening to such words.

Was Wang Lin wrong?

No.

Investing in this industry is just like that.

Even taking a step back, if it were true that Wang Lin snatched the deal, so what?

If Sequoia Capital didn't put enough chips on the table and didn't impress DJI, then what else is there to say?

It's just that given the current scale, Sequoia Capital is much larger than Junlin Finance, so Ma asked out of curiosity.

In fact, Ma even added a warning: "Neil Shen of Sequoia won't let this go after suffering such a blow."

"Back in 2010, they made a strategic investment in my Alibaba, and now that guy is thriving."

Wang Lin naturally understood this.

Looking at what Sequoia China has invested in, one knows they are indeed powerful.

Alibaba, Ant Group, Meituan, Dianping, Tomorrow's Headlines, iQIYI, Hundsun, etc., all have their footprints.

This is just in the technology sector.

In fields like healthcare and consumer goods, they also have investments.

Some small fry don't even know who Sequoia Capital invests in.

This time, DJI was also a major play in the tech sector, but it was snatched away by Wang Lin.

How could Neil Shen tolerate this?!

This was DJI's Series A financing!!

Back in 2006, Dianping had its Series A, and from that wave, Sequoia Capital reaped a 400-fold return.

This time, regarding DJI, inside Sequoia Capital, its value is considered no less than Dianping, and in some areas, the two are incomparable.

So, losing this DJI Series A, Neil Shen has kept it in mind.

This time, Wang Lin brought up the Series C financing of Dad Dou, and that's when Ma remembered so much.

Wang Lin smiled and said: "Whether he lets it go or not has nothing to do with me. The key issue now is not Neil Shen, but what Dad Dou has to say."

"For a company like Dad Dou, Sequoia Capital is definitely their first choice, but our Junlin Finance is not bad either!!"

"If others don't understand, don't we? Dad Dou plays with big data. Just accurate news pushing requires massive computing and server support. Otherwise, without computing power, where would big data come from?"

"This money cannot be saved."

"Neil Shen's company has a budget and can't dump too much money into Dad Dou's Series C, but I, Wang Lin, am different. I have the final say in my company, I say what goes!!"

"According to my estimation, for this round of financing for Dad Dou, the valuation will be at most 500 million USD. I'll take out 50 million USD to invest directly. Do you think they wouldn't agree?"

Ma looked at the young and frivolous boy in front of him, and for a moment, he felt a bit dazed.

He remembered his own past. Back then, he didn't have the conditions Wang Lin had—knowing how to trade stocks, and having complete control over his company.

And with sharp eyes, daring to think and act.

Back then, he relied entirely on his mouth and shamelessness, spending half his life finally building up Alibaba.

Now that he is telling him so much, Ma naturally understands the reason: to pull in the Alibaba behind him to help him.

To gain more leverage in this Series C financing of Dad Dou.

Ma laughed: "Good. I am very optimistic about your vision, especially since Sequoia Capital actually wants to join this feast!"

"It seems this Dad Dou company really has something!!"

"Since that's the case, when the time comes for financing, you can borrow some of our resources to see if they need publicity, strategic resource investment, or brand endorsement."

"I think, in terms of user-facing aspects, Neil Shen's Sequoia Capital is not as useful as my Alibaba!"

This was true.

Not to mention anything else, who doesn't know about Alibaba's Double 11 these days?

Last year's Double 11 transaction volume reached 35 billion!

Many authoritative Institutions predicted that this year's Double 11 transaction volume could exceed 50 billion!

This kind of software, which is already at a national level, naturally has much better credibility when facing users than the high-and-mighty Sequoia Capital.

And if promoted by Alibaba, the spread would be much better.

If it were anyone else, Ma would simply ignore them.

What's so good about Dad Dou now?

Apart from Todays Headlines, there isn't a single project worth mentioning.

This highly anticipated Dad Dou is just a small fry now. Competing with Alibaba?

The two are simply not on the same scale.

Alibaba is about to go public in September this year, with an IPO of nearly 30 billion USD alone.

While Dad Dou's valuation is only 500 million USD.

Compare what?

But no one could have imagined that such a company, such a piece of software, could become a global behemoth with a market value of hundreds of billions of USD in the future.

So.

This is equivalent to a 100-level big boss, and a 10-level small character who just left the novice village.

If it were anyone else, Ma wouldn't even pay attention to them.

But this is Wang Lin.

Wang Lin, who created a miracle of ten billion in less than a year.

Ma knew that in the stock market, a person who can create such a miracle is very terrifying.

And worthy of being befriended.

Especially this quarterly profit and loss statement, which made him extremely interested.

This is not a few hundred million or billions in funds, this is tens of billions in funds.

Yet for such a terrifying amount of funds, Wang Lin could still treat it like pocket change, going all-in and making huge profits, doubling and doubling again.

Such a character, if you add the word 'young' to him.

Then the future is truly limitless!

So.

The two hit it off!

They reached another collaboration.

.

Standing at the entrance of Junlin Finance.

Wang Lin personally saw Ma into the car and waved with a smile as he watched him drive away.

After the car drove away, the smile on Wang Lin's face did not disappear.

Leng Nuannuan and Li Yuanyuan, who had been accompanying him, were equally excited.

That was Ma. How strong he was in this era—he was a legendary figure.

But such a big shot actually chose to collaborate with their boss, their boyfriend, again.

Could there be anything more satisfying than this?

Li Yuanyuan's eyes were practically melting as she looked at Wang Lin.

Mind-blowing excitement!!

So handsome!

Li Yuanyuan quietly glanced at Leng Nuannuan. Tonight, she must not let her ruin her good deed.
